The tivo remote is terrible

As you know got tv,phone,bb in but I Cant get used to this tivo remote, I hate to say this but the SKY remote was much easier to use, does anyone else agree or does it just take a bit of time to get used to?

Give it a few weeks, you'll soon be whizzing around the menus.

The TIVO remote does take some getting used to, but I can pretty much use it with my eyes closed now.

That probably says more about my TV viewing habits than ease of use, but hey, that's life. :)

The OK/arrow buttons should be where the play/pause buttons are.

Its what you are used to, I dislike all Sky remotes, everything is in a different position compared to the TIVO remote

Don't worry Dot, with the amount of crime, arguments and other storylines in the run up to Christmas, you won't have any time to use it anyway!
